Mantic Announces the end of The Walking Dead Miniatures Game

Posted on by Leave a comment

It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise but Mantic Games has announced they’ll be ending new releases and support for The Walking Dead Miniatures Game.

Launched in 2016, over five years the game publisher has released seven waves of story arc for the game taking players from Atlanta to the Prison, meeting The Governor and Negan, and up to the Whisperers. It also featured spin-offs like the Here’s Negan board game, and Call to Arms which expanded it to more of a skirmish game.

But, with the comic no longer being published there’s not much more that can be released and such things have been decided that it should wind down.

Gamers will have until March 31st to grab items that will be discounted by 25% by using the code TWD2022 from the Mantic website. If something is out of stock, Mantic asks for those interested to add it to their wishlist to let them know the demand.

There’s a vibrant community around the game that is sure to keep it going in some form with homebrewed rules.

Time is ticking down though, so if you need to complete your collection or have always wanted to get the game, now’s your last chance!

THE WALKING DEAD – ANTHOLOGY – Pre-Order

The 176-page Anthology book is a handy one-stop-shop for all the published rules for the smash hit Walking Dead: All Out War miniatures game. The rules are updated with all the latest changes and FAQs. The book also includes a host of new exciting content and scenarios and new ways of playing for All Out War, along with the Call to Arms, and Here’s Negan games.

THE WHISPERERS FACTION BOOSTER – Pre-Order

There’s  no limit on the amount of ‘minions’ you can take in your Whisperer gang… and you’re going to need lots. The Whisperers can blend in with the Walkers, so your opponent is never sure if they’re fighting the undead or a Whisperer in disguise.

Mantic Games has teased its releases for the next few months and the anticipated The Whisperers are coming to their Walking Dead tabletop miniature games.

Available in August, The Whisperers is a brand new faction that will be split across two sets – a faction starter and faction booster. Both packs will come with the cards required to play the Whisperers in All Out War and Call to Arms.

The Whisperers are joined by The Walking Dead Anthology. This is a supplement that’s been asked for numerous times by the community. It brings together all the expansions in one handy book, plus a bunch of new scenarios. It comes in at a mighty 170+ pages and will be an absolute must-have for any TWD fan.

Gen Con 2019: Mantic Games Brings Hellboy, Walking Dead, and Mantic Night!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Mantic Games is heading to Gen Con and you can find them at booth #835 with demos and exclusives!

Hellboy: The Wild Hunt

Mantic will have the very first copies of the brand-new expansion, The Wild Hunt – flown straight in from China. This will be the first time the expansion has been available anywhere in the world – but there’s only 50 copies, so you might need to be quick to get yours! And don’t worry if you’re not at the show, the expansion will be available from retailers and the Mantic website in September.

If you missed out on the Kickstarter, they’ll have the last few Hellboy Kickstarters copies available in the USA at our booth 835. There are less than 100 Kickstarter Editions – and they are on a first come, first served basis (plus use the voucher from the coupon book to get $20 off).

Hellboy Show Exclusive Nimue, the Blood Queen

You want more Hellboy madness? Mantic will have the new Hellboy Show Exclusive Nimue, the Blood Queen miniature available in very limited amounts at the stand. Don’t worry if you can’t make it to Gen Con, Nimue will be available at other shows we attend and from the Mantic website soon!

Call to Arms will be making its debut at Gen Con. On the stand the new book will be available, along with the faction cards and equipment deck. If you want to take your games of All Out War to the next level, then this is a vital purchase.

For Walking Dead fans, Gen Con will be the first opportunity in the US to grab the Show Exclusive Chris, Leader of the Hunters. Not only do you get Chris, but he also comes with two gruesome resin objective markers.

Also at Gencon Mantic will host the legendary Mantic Night. The ticket costs $30 but for that you get the 10 Year Mantic Gencon Celebration pint pot, a pint of craft beer to put in it (or other tasty beverage of your choice) and a $30 voucher to spend on the Mantic stand. So basically, Mantic’s paying you to come and spend the evening with them! How amazing is that? The event takes place Saturday at 8pm at the Kingmakers Board Game Parlour, where you can chat, drink and game!
